Sparrow - Thing For You lyrics

[Intro: Sparrow] I know there's a place I swear it isn't that far away And if there's a time and place for everything I just pray there's another way there than yesterday It's the one thing that I can say without any hesitation And that's all I can say without tainting it No matter how many layers I've created I still can't shroud something that's unmistakable And I won't weather this and just let it wither away Because it's true, whether or not I ever tell you anyway So, don't shoot the messenger I just wanna let you know it's there But don't tell me I'm just over exaggerating this because... [Verse 1: Sparrow] It's not a figment of my imagination It's got a bottomless pit But in the best possible way But unless I've got someway to offer All of the good that it contains All it does is haunt me Each and every single day It's been too long since I saw your face You've gone and I've stood in one place You probably thought of me on occasion But I promise I've thought of you More than I ever wanna say You might not believe it is this way And I can promise you I often wished it weren't the case But I gotta be honest with myself Or else I'll just end up going insane I know I've got something great to offer But I only have one place where I can deposit it And I just want this awesome gift within me To be the positive thing it can be Instead of my own worst enemy Out to get, from within me I'm sorry, I wanted to move on I don't want to be a bother But something always stops me Every time I start to walk away And just when i think i'm on my way I wake up feeling the same thing saying [Hook: Sparrow] I've got a thing for you Got no better way to say it I won't waste another minute So, I'm just gonna say it I've still got a thing for you So sick of playing games Knowing I'm just wasting days Till I finally just say it So now you know I've still got a thing for you [Verse 2: Sparrow] Over time I slowly stopped tying to fight it Because I know it's great Even if I can't know if it'll ever have it's day Even if it goes to waste Even if I don't get a say Even if I must take it with me to my grave I'm not letting go until I no longer feel Whatever's been tugging on the other end Until I've dried every brush bristle I can find As I try to paint the perfect portrait of everything That words cannot describe Of a gift from the divine But feels more like a curse today Cause I couldn't give it away if I tried; it's permanent So I've taken what I was given, and I'm working with it Trying to make the best of it By using it as a utensil to write this And I hope that it finds a way to you A way to make a mark Portrays a love you can't erase I can't turn off And has never changed And that would still be the case Even if I'd never made ‘em playable Let you hear me say these words That've been beating me over the head Repeating themselves ever since you left And I'm sorry if I'm screaming But it's tough to hear yourself speak When all you do is think Sometimes all of the monotony makes me wanna break it Sometimes I'm afraid it's gonna break me Sometimes I appreciate it Sometimes I'm thankful it won't ever break Sometimes I think I may be going crazy But there's never been a time I didn't know who I was crazy for And I just wanna know that you know that [Hook: Sparrow x2]
